foundation-emails: npm start error; code ELIFECYCLE; gulp fails

I have installed foundation email using cli I’m now running into the following error with ‘npm start’ and hoping someone can help put me right:

How can we reproduce this bug? I am running:

MACOS X Version 10.6.8
npm 3.8.6
node v4.4.2
nvm 0.31.0
git version 1.8.4.2

What did you expect to happen? “npm start” to run without errors

What happened instead?

npm ERR! Darwin 10.8.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "start"
npm ERR! node v4.4.2

I’m fairly new to node & npm and did run into a lot of issues and warnings during the install process of npm install foundation-cli --global Posted the install log here as I’m not sure if there’s anything in there that sheds more light: https://github.com/fivedoor/foundation-records/blob/master/installation_log_190416

gulp -v returns [19:52:03] CLI version 3.9.1 I was wondering if the problem might be connected to the fact that gulp referenced in the json file dev dependencies is v4.0? "gulp": "git+https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0",

thanks

just do npm rebuild node-sass

I was getting the exact same error until I realized a line in my scss was broken.

This is fixed by creating a .babelrc file in the project root directory with the following content:

{
  "presets": ["es2015"]
}

I’d make a PR but the branches are confusing and I’m not really sure what the target branch should be.

@fivedoor You might try deleting your node_modules folder and running npm i

You probably just need to escape the characters.

I got this error when the subject line of my email contained the characters: [ ]

When I removed them npm run start ran again.

delete node_modules folder
run npm install

A few people have suggested this, and I am commenting to add that this worked for me!
